Waiting And Wasting Away

TRAVELLING THE HIGHWAYS AND MOUNTAINS OF THIS LAND, HAVEN’T MET MANY PEOPLE THAT COULDN’T USE A HELPING HAND. THE COST OF LIVING IS RISING NOTHING’S FOR FREE. I WONDER IF MY CHILDREN WILL BE BETTER OFF THAN ME. WHILE WE’RE STAGNATING, PROBLEMS WE’RE CREATING. WE ARE WAITING AND WASTING AWAY.

TEACHERS AND COPS GETTING LAID OFF TELL ME WHO’S NEXT IN LINE. WHILE THE SUPER RICH AND THE POLITICIANS DRINK AND DINE. POINTING FINGERS AT EACH OTHER TRYING TO LAY THE BLAME, WE COULD USE SOME SOLUTIONS INSTEAD OF THIS TEENAGE GAME. WHILE YOUR’E DEBATING, STILL HESITATING, WE ARE WAITING AND WASTING AWAY.

LOOKING AT MY PAYCHECK AND I REALIZE IT’S A CRYING SHAME. ‘CAUSE I STILL GOT THE BILLS THAT IT DOESN’T COVER ANYWAY. TAX MAN COMING ‘ROUND TAKING EVERY BIT AS PLANNED. I WANT TO GET SOMETHING FOR MY MONEY, DAMN IT IF I CAN.

THE SUITS AT THE BANK ARE SCHEMING UP A BRAND NEW FINE. SEEMS LIKE ALL THEY EVER DO IS NICKEL AND DIME. TECH-HEADS SPYING ON US AT THE N.S.A. IT’S A GOOD THING I’M NOT TOO IMPORTANT TO THEM ANYWAY.

MY HAIR IS TURNING GRAY, I HAVE NO CARDS TO PLAY…I’M JUST WAITING AND WASTING AWAY.
